Rob Ford's Lawyer Says Police Should Release 'Crack' Video

In interviews with the Toronto Sun and The Globe and Mail, Dennis Morris said Police Chief Bill Blair should release the video because Ford is being convicted in the media without evidence.

“He’s happy that this thing is going to come to a conclusion in the sense that there is a video and he wants it seen by the public as soon as possible,” Morris told the Globe. There is no way to know what substance Ford is smoking on the tape Morris said.

"The chief says there's a video. I believe the chief. But when you're the mayor and people are taking tens of thousands of video shots of you and pictures — if it happens a year ago, a year and a half ago — Johnny, you were there June the 25th, a year and a half ago; do you remember the video that you took?" Doug Ford asked.

But that doesn't mean Ford can't talk about it. The mayor argued Thursday that he could not comment on the video revelations because the matter is before the courts. That's a position that was refuted by several legal experts in interviews with the Toronto Star.

“If it was just a piece of evidence that the police obtained and it’s not contained in a search warrant or anything like that we may not have any grounds to go and try to get access to it immediately," Peter Jacobsen said. “The fact that they’ve announced that they’ve found the video is interesting. It’s not often what the police do … but I guess because this is so notorious they wanted to get this out into the public."
